Sure. Got some leftover Euros from the Warden.

Super-dooper.

Does the hotel Eye-talian pull a decent pint?

... Sod it, a drink's a drink, eh? Whenever you're ready.

An expensive pint, most likely. I'm not sure what that really says about the quality.

Right. I'll meet you at the bar downstairs.

That it's piss-water. But no worries, mate. Bet I can get it down nice and cheap. I'm what you call, charming.

Aye aye. Look for the drop-dead-gorgeous hero in the camel hair.

[Once the Major makes it to the bar (after, of course, shutting Solo up-- hopefully for good), he finds that there aren't any "drop-dead-gorgeous" heroes. There is, however, a man in camel hair. How... vintage. He offers his hand and smiles thinly]

Hello. Major Henry West. I, ah, believe you're the man I spoke to a few minutes ago?

[Gene, already swilling the sorry lager from the bottom of a glass, glances at the Major. A quick glare commences, until he finally draws his bottom lip up and gives a curt nod]

In the magic-journal-abob, yeah? [He pauses, then grasps the other man's hand briefly] Eyup. DCI Gene 'unt.

Yeah. The magic... thing. [Nods. He takes a seat beside him, takes a look at the lager, and decides to order a double of whiskey instead. Cold night like this, he might as well]

DCI? Must be a Warden, then.

[Gene glances at the whiskey, then at his own empty glass. He seems to approve]

Warden? Yeah. But y'say that like there in't any twats in the CID.

[He leans over the bar and clicks his fingers at the barman] Oi. Luigi. Whiskey chaser. 'is tab. [He leans back and gives West an odd look] So you're an inmate?

Oh, I believe there are. [smirks a little] I doubt being a Warden precludes one from being a twat as well.

[He shifts uncomfortably and stares out at the bar as he takes a sip of his drink] Yeah. I've misbehaved, apparently.

Hm. Thought so.

[He grabs the glass from the bar, taking a sip ... then pauses]

You calling me a twat?

Re: Action! major_west July 5 2008, 23:44:15 UTC
[He looks at Gene and quirks an eyebrow] What, do I give off that 'vibe'?

No, I'm not. [He shrugs and takes another sip] I just find the distinction between Wardens and Inmates to be quite arbitrary.
